$BEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 738,339, datedSeptember 8, 1903. Application filed January 10, 1903. Serial No.138,536. (No model.)

To atZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, SIDNEY P. MADEIRA and JOHN J. PURCELL, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Pueblo, in the county of Pueblo and StateofOolorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bust-Developers; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable oth ersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Our invention relates to certain new and useful improvements involved inthe construction of an appliance adapted for the development orenlargement of certain parts of the body, as will be hereinafter moreclearly described and claimed.

The prime object of our invention, among others, is to providereliably-efiicient means whereby the development or enlargement of thebust of a female may be attained.

A further object is to provide a simple though efficient mechanismwhereby either or both members may be acted upon simultaneously orindividually, as preferred.

Other objects and advantages will he here'- inafter made clearlyapparent, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which aremade a part of this application, and in Which- Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of our invention complete ready for use. Fig. 2 shows a centralsection of one of the cup-shaped members. Fig. 3 is a longitudinalcentral section of the pump and its housing. Fig. 4 is a similar viewtaken at right angles to that presented in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is an enlargeddetail showing the edge of one of the cup shaped members provided withcushioning means for the protection of the parts.

In order to conveniently refer to the details of our invention andaccessories deemed necessary to illustrate a practical applicationthereof to use, numerals will be employed, the same numeral applying toa similar part throughout the several views.

In carrying out our invention we provide, preferably, a pair ofcup-shaped members 1 and 2, which may be made any preferred size and ofany suitable material which will give them a rigid form and shape, saidcup-shaped members each being provided with a preferably integraltubular extension 3 and 4, respectively. The tubular extension 3preferably terminates in a threaded end section 5 and is also providednear said terminal with an integral tubular extension 6, which is soformed as to be enlarged into a rectangular housing or body-section 7,the upper end of which is inclosed and provided with a plurality ofapertures for a purpose hereinafter particularly set forth. The housing7 is also provided with the diaphragm 9, having a central aperture 10,over which is disposed the outwardly-moving fiap-valve 11, which thusforms the lower end of the cylinder 12, within which reciprocates thepiston 13, having upon its lower end a suitable piston-head and valve14, whereby when said valve 14 is drawn outward by the rotation of thecrank-shaft 15 the air will be drawn upward through the opening 10 untilthe cylinder 12 is filled, when a reverse movement of the piston-rod 13and its valve 14 willcause the flap-valve 11 to close the opening 10,when the valve 14 will open, and thereby permit the free inward movementof said valve and. piston, to which it is connected. By this arrangementit is therefore obvious that since the pipe-sections 3 and 4 are tubularthe air will be drawn therefrom by means of said pump just described andwill create a vacuum within the cup-shaped members 1 and 2, which beingpressed tightly in engagement with the skin will insure that the breastswill be drawn into said cup-shaped members, and thereby extended oruniformly drawn outward throughout their entire surface, the resultbeing that a repetition of this operation will insure a permanentenlargement of the parts acted upon.

The pipe-sections 3 and 4 and cupeshaped members 1 and 2 being rigid, itbecomes desirable to provide suitable means for adjusting the relativedistance of separation of the cup-shaped members, and with this purposein view we form the free end section 5 of the tubular member 3 ofsufficient size to snugly receive the free end of the tubular member 4,thus disposing said terminals in telescopic union, whereby thecup-shaped members may be readily drawn toward each other or separatedto compensate for the position of the parts operated upon. In order tomake the located withinsaid cap it is obvious that an air-tight jointmay be easily provided.

The crank-shaft 15 is provided with suitable bearings in the housing 7and has rigidly secured thereto near its outer end a gear 18, designedto mesh with the driving-gear 19, carried by the shaft 20, the inner endof said shaft being seated in suitable bearings provided in the bracket21, while the outer end of said shaft finds a bearing in a contiguouspart of the housing and extends entirely through said housing to providemeans for connecting the cran 22, whereby power may be manually appliedto drive said gears and rotate said crank, and thereby operate the pump.

The cup-shaped members being formed of vulcanized rubber or othersimilar rigid materialitbecomes desirable to provide suitablereinforcement for the free edges thereof whereby the parts of the bodycoming in contact therewith will not be injured, and with this purposein "iew we form in the free edge of both of said members 1 and 2 anannularly-disposed dovetailed groove 23, designed to receive thedovetailed rib 24, formed upon the inner edge of the cushion 25, whichlatter is formed of soft rubber or equivalent thereof.

It will be understood that the varipus parts of our invention may beformed of any suitable material and that the complete apparatus may beprovided with one or two eupshaped members, as may be preferred. If

one cup-shaped member only is employed, the terminal of the tubularsection 4 may be entirely withdrawn from the tubular section 3, in whichcase the cap 16 may be entered in place upon the threaded end 5 after adisk of cup-shaped member, so as to entirely close the opening 17, andit is therefore obvious that when the cap 16 is turned home upon itsthreaded seat the disk of paper or rubber will make an air-tight joint,and thus enable the single cup-shaped member 1 to be used for thepurpose specified.

' While we have described the preferred construction and combination ofparts deemed necessary in materializing our invention, we wish tocomprehend such substantial equivalents and substitutes as may beconsidered as falling fairly Within the scope of our invention.

Believing that the advantages and manner of using our improved apparatuswill thus be made fully apparent by the foregoing specification,considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, furtherdescription is deemed unnecessary.

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The herein-described bust-developer consisting of the cup-shaped members1 and 2; suitable means to operatively connect and disconnect saidmembers whereby an air-tight joint will be provided, in combination witha suitable housing operatively connected with said tubular extensionsand having a pumping apparatus within said housing designed to exhaustthe air within the cup-shaped members, said cup-shaped members beingprovided upon their free edges with suitable' cushioning devices, allcombined substantially as specified and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
